Did anybody else suffer in the cold, waiting for the "park and ride" bus, after the race? I waited an hour - there was only one bus running, and the traffic was atrocious, so it was taking 30 min to do the round trip. Should have at least been more buses, especially in that weather! Soured an otherwise good event for me.

Yes, I was in that queue too! It was bitter, and not great for the muscles to be standing in the cold for so long. I emailed the organisers and got a fairly curt reply, saying that they've only ever had one bus for the return journey and that it's never been an issue before - and suggested that we could have used the free taxi service, which was news to me! I'm sure the only thing I saw in the race pack was a free taxi back to the start of the race, which wouldn't have been terribly useful! Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the event and the atmosphere, and I suppose it made finally getting warm all the sweeter!
